Description A survey was carried out in four districts each of five States, namely Uttar Pradesh from Northern region, Odisha from Eastern region, Karnataka from Southern region, Rajasthan from Western region and Madhya Pradesh from Central region.
The sampling design was stratified two stage random sampling with district as stratum, village as first stage sampling unit and the farmer growing food grain crops and having livestock as second stage unit. From each selected district, a sample of 20 villages was selected by simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR), allocating villages proportionally to different tehsils/blocks. The farmers of sample village have been divided into three operational holding size groups, namely Small (up to 2 ha), Medium (2-4 ha) and Large (more than 4 ha).
A sample of 15 farmers (5 farmers from each holding size group) was randomly selected adopting pre-stratification of the farmers growing food grain crops and having livestock in each operational holding size group. The shortfall of farmers in any operational holding size group has been compensated from is immediate lower holding size group.
Detailed data was collected by enquiry regarding food grain crops grown, area under crop (irrigated/un-irrigated), seed used, quantity of food grain crop given to labor in lieu of harvesting/threshing operations, sale of crop production from the field, quantity stored, losses incurred at the harvesting stage and while taking produce from field to storage, feed to livestock, home consumption, wastages taken place at storage, transportation from storage to mandi, losses in mandi and quantity sold in mandi.
The data collected has been digitized using Software developed in MS ACCSES and analyzed through Computer Programme in SAS.
